I can understand why, when you touch the toothache, the culprit yells. This is the thing: this crazy definition that you have now decided on of who is in and who is out. So I would like to ask the Labor Party: are they going to make exemptions for people who have to use these cars as a matter of course, as a standard fare? It is not a luxury but probably something that, under your own occupational health and safety standards, you would require people to drive around in. Is there going to be an exemption for that? Or what are we going to put the kids in? Are we going to stick them—like when I was a kid—in the back of the station wagon? Are we going to sit them in the back of a station wagon so we can get under the price? This is going to get voted down. This is going to get voted out I hope, not because the Labor Party came up with it but because it is such a ridiculous anachronistic step back into the past. (Time expired)
